Ilan van Wilder & Tao Geoghegan Hart among abandons as Criterium du Dauphine continues to feel effects of mass crash

The peloton continues to feel the effects of the mass crash on stage 5 of the 2024 Criterium du Dauphine. Ahead of stage 7, a number more riders have sadly been forced to abandon.
Among those out of racing is Soudal - Quick-Step's Ilan van Wilder. "Due to the consequences of the injuries sustained in Thursday’s crash, Ilan van Wilder has been forced to stop at the Dauphine," writes an official announcement by the team's social media pages earlier this morning, with Remco Evenepoel losing a key teammate. "Wishing him a speedy recovery!"
Late last night, Lidl-Trek's Tao Geoghegan Hart was also pulled from the race. The former Giro d'Italia winner started the race as the team's big general classification hopeful. A disappointing performance on the stage 6 summit finish however, losing over 20 minutes was perhaps a sign that not all was well with Geoghegan Hart.
"Unfortunately more news to report from Criterium du Dauphine as Tao Geoghegan Hart has withdrawn from the race," announced the Lidl-Trek team via their official social media accounts. "He was suffering today with pain off the back of the crash on Stage 5 and is not feeling 100 percent. Wishing Tao a good recovery!"
Among the other riders to have also stepped off their bike still suffering from the after-effects of the stage 5 crash include Emils Liepiņs of Team DSM-Firmenich PostNL, Clement Berthet of Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team, Cristian Rodriguez of Arkéa - B&B Hotels, Logan Currie of Lotto Dstny, Clement Russo of Groupama - FDJ and Cofidis duo Kenny Elissonde and Hugo Toumire.

- i don’t know nearly as much about bruyneel or hincapie as most of us do about lance, but we judge people by the company they keep. i hand no idea what psychological problems the other two have, but there’s gotta be something pretty severely wrong with them if they continue to choose to be close to armstrong.OCexile26-12-2024
- Ayuso and Rodriguez are only 22 and 23. Don't pressure it as they're still so sooo young.
James2631826-12-2024 - Not sure that can be true, in that USA Cycling is part of the UCI.acem8226-12-2024
- Oh, and yes: I am no psychiatrist/psychologist, but Bruyneel and Texas Turd are both sociopaths. It goes well beyond "protect my world and anyone would" that is the usual zeitgeist of their bullshit. No normal person has Bob Roll go at Greg Lemond with an audio recording device at Ron Keifel's bike shop...for example.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Funnier: this website keeps giving credo to their ramblings. In this case, why in any possible way would Boonen want to create a fantasy world to attach himself to these two clowns when more likely he would want to forget he was even there? Laughable.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- A sociopath is an informal term used to describe someone with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), a mental health condition characterized by a chronic pattern of disregard for social norms, laws, and the rights and feelings of others.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Rowe spent his whole career on one team being nothing more than a thug for Skyneos. I have no idea why another team would want import this type of person into their program.Sweep26-12-2024

- yeah, that’s a more fair assessment. “reaching mathieu’s level” doesn’t mean you’re planning to replicate his whole career. the former IS doable, potentially. it’s just the latter that likely is not.OCexile25-12-2024
- That’s not entirely true. Every person follows their own development path and peaks differently. Remco and Primoz had hardly started cycling before elite level. Jonas was pretty much under the radzr until he unexpectedly had to take over responsibility at JV. Some guys only get real good in their thirties others have peaked mid-twenties. You can’t tell in advance how and upto what level they will progress, obviously his career might not have MVDPs length but nothing says he could not end up doing a few seasons at his level.Mistermaumau25-12-2024
